Woooo, well, this is a question that I am wondering what the views are that you may have. As my title says, Can more than one human being live in the same body?

I am not sure if any of us suffer from Schizophrenia on here but it is a mental illness that can also cause anxiety and depression. I think I heard someone ask this on telly the other day but didn't get to listen to what they had to say about it. If anyone watched it please share with me what they spoke about, I am very interested.

I am not talking about being a twin, or a siamese twin, but two separate consciousnesses in the one body? Freaky huh? But what about those people who suffer multiple personalities or hear voices? I hear voices in my head sometimes. I don't know who it is, but it certainly doesn't sound like me.

What I think they were going on to say on the telly the other day was that this is what the experts are now considering.

What do you think? Did you get to see the programme in question, or do you think there is a chance it could be possible?

In my view no! I think what you are referring to is more than one soul in a body, and while some people think that is possible, I don't. You could mean something like possession, but again that isn't something that happens normally. I'm not saying it's not possible though.

Maybe that other voice is the unconscious part of you? Maybe watching these shows isn't such a good idea for you right now.

Yes, I am referring to more than one soul in the body. At least that what the show was saying. It was just the trailer I noticed so I didn't get to watch the whole programme. I agree that the voice in my head is probably the subconscious part of me as I don't believe in demon possession.

I googled it, I will have to find the link again :rolleyes: but the article got quite technical and way above my head. I will try to find it and post the link here. You will probably understand it better than me! lol. It spoke about a part in the brain being cut and that was where two identities would form.

@janemariesayed I can only tell you what I believe, and that is only one soul can be in a body at a time, but the soul is made up of part of the soul in the spirit realm (that voice of reason that talks to you) and the soul here on earth.

Therefore, the part of the soul in the other realm is like leaving a deposit there, so you go back and know where to go back. That's my tale on it which makes more sense. So when the soul does transition, it's going home to join up with the deposited part of the soul.

That is an interesting theory @Alex, I thought that our soul or inner energy transcended to another body that it resonated with, in a vibratory sense. I find it fascinating to think that we could still be leaving a deposit of ourselves behind. From the research I've been doing on the flow of energy recently, I have learned that energy is sticky. It's rather amazing really. So your theory holds up, never thought of it that way before! I think the words I hear sometimes in my head mostly happen when I lay down to have a sleep in the daytime. So I don't lay down to sleep in the daytime anymore and I don't hear it. :happy: I think someone said, or I read somewhere that hearing voices can be a symptom of PTSD which I think I have because I have been having flashbacks as well.

I wouldn't have minded seeing that programme on the telly though. It dosent mean I agree with what they are saying. I wonder how they came up with the idea. Sometimes I think they have the most obscure ideas, and wonder why and where they are trying to take us. It makes me wonder how many views it had and how many of them actually believe it.

Lots of people have voices in their head or hear them, but they won't admit it because people might lock them up. I think with PTSD you hear voices that remind you of what happened, and think of it as a narrator in a movie reminding you or telling you what is going on.

Sometimes I find these theories too unrealistic. As for the part that remains in the spirit realm, it's called the HIgher Self, which you can look up. Nearly everyone agrees it exists, but people often ask how they contact the Higher Self, and what they don't realize, is that it that voice you hear in your head.

Ha ha, :eek::D sorry @Alex but that is so very funny! The voice I used to hear was telling me to take my own life! I'm sure that was not my higher self, more like my lower self LOL. :DThankfully I have learned how to deal with it now. But, there is a different voice that I also hear. It is very, very quiet. It is a voice like an instinct. The voice that tells me what is right or wrong. Some people call it the consciousness. Is that the voice that you mean to be our higher selves? That's the voice that I think is my higher self. When I was hearing that voice in my head telling me to do things that were not so good, I was going through a very difficult stressful time. It was because of the times and it was how it was affecting me. There had been an attempt on my life and the country was in the middle of a revolution at the time. And, yes, I was hearing voices. It scared me very much as I didn't understand it, and I haven't really spoken of it very much. It wasn't a voice like a movie, nor was it images. It was just a male voice. I don't think what I was going through was the same as what they were talking about on the programme though.

Obviously hearing voices to take your own life aren't your Higher Self, but when I do hear of this, I then ask if any medication, alcohol or drugs were taken? In every case someone has taken something, and that can affect what perceptions.

Sometimes that voice may say it;s okay to do things that aren't right, and I see that in young souls who are still learning, hence why they have lots of Guides to stop them, or to advise them. I have met quite a few, and that's why the Higher Self in a young soul will not be advanced enough to know, as it is still learning.

In general, no one likes to suffer, and some see ending the physical life as a way to stop pain and suffering. It's part of evolving though, and it's tough, but we do get there in the end. Hang in!

Thank you @Alex. I am hanging in there. I'm waiting on a counsellor for therapy and I'm looking forward to healing. I hadn't taken any drugs or anything. I had been run off the street by a car and left for dead at the side of the road. That was in Egypt at the time of the revolution out there and we foreign Christians were not really welcome there. It was then that those symptoms started. Thankfully I have learned how to deal with them so they don't happen now. I'm still going to bring it up with the shrink though. It was a side effect of the stress of being a hit and run victim.

Always remember, anything and everything is possible. My deceased brother...I'm not sure how to say this, but since his passing two years ago...I guess you can say he has used my conscious being to get points across, even emotions.

I don't talk about this much, but I will share it with you guys because I know you will get it. Sometimes I have cried tears that weren't even my own tears....they were somebody else's. I think they were his. I told him he can use me whenever he needs to, and he knows it. I don't mind it one bit, and I'm not afraid. Never be afraid of the other side. We will all be there eventually anyway. Instead of fearing my connection with it, I embrace it. I have a very strong connection with it, and I am thankful for that.

I think it is possible. A few days ago I watched the movie 'Split' and it made me think again of people with multiple personalities. Of course some parts of the movie are exaggerated or simply made for the public, but I truly believe the brain is capable of doing thigs like that. There are a lot of examples of how people do things that other people can’t like people with photographic memory or people that can block pain from their bodies, etc. I know it is not the same but it is just an example of many things the brain can do.


Also for what I've read the main reason behind this is a severe trauma, like the brain is trying to block it and defend itself. Of course I'm not an expert and it might not be real. Still I hope that it gets more attention and research so it can be properly addressed and people with it can be helped.

It was awful what happened to you in Egypt, but it is good that you have decided to keep going and ignored the voice that was telling you bad things. I hope therapy can help you overcome what is causing you to suffer.

It was this that the programme was talking about. Those people who have split personalities may be hosting two separate consciousnesses in the body rather than just the one consciousness. I wondered if they may have a point. I absolutely get bugged when I miss something like that which I really want to see. I can't even find anything on the net about it. I wonder what their findings were, and what route they took to come to that conclusion. I am sure they have done brain scans on schizophrenics and I also wonder how that research comes into play with this new research.

The voice I was hearing in my head isn't schizophrenia, thankfully. It has stopped now as well, what I get now is my own thoughts popping up with the word 'suicide' rather than that male voice telling me to kill myself. Hearing voices can be a symptom of schizophrenia and also Bipolar Disorder. They call them 'Audible Hallucinations' and they can also happen if someone takes drugs as well as a symptom of PTSD. I think in my case it could have been PTSD as I had a lot of bad things happen in Egypt. Although I still get flash backs, the voice has stopped.

Maybe that is what triggered my interest in seeing that programme on the TV I'm not sure. What I am sure of, though, it is just Jane living in this body!:smuggrin:
